Day 5 on day 8 or 9….

Well I would be telling you an untruth if I said I was on day 8 today…I am still trying to get through day 5. This is all part of the process and life get’s in the way. My kids have been sick and I have had lack of sleep and cuddly kids. If I have to choose between hugging my sick kids or working out the kids are going to win.

Oh I will get day 5 done…I won’t quit. If I were to quit I would still be 70 more pounds over weight. I am a reality queen. My reality is that I Continue reading

Day 4 ice skating

UntitledToday was not really a rest day, but a rest day from my workout DVDs. We have our daughter in ice skating lessons and she goes once a week. Hay, she is half Canadian, as I was born there, so you know my kids have to eventually learn how to ice skate!

Anyways, we decided after her lesson that we would take the kiddos to the open skate. Continue reading

Day 5 & 6 of 40 day+ workout!

UntitledSince the kiddos had been sick for nearly 5-days, my workouts had taken a turn for the worst…meaning they were MIA for those days. On a good note (2 good notes) the kids are better so I can workout again AND I found a couple more workout DVD packs so I think now I have over 45 workout DVDs…that is a good thing. I should not get bored, LOL

Day 5’s workout was with Jillian Michaels again. She is tough as nails but that woman knows how to get results. She is definitely not for the sensitive type. I do lover her workouts and today she did it again…kicked my butt.

So today I worked out with Banish Fat Boost Metabolism by Jillian Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.

INSANE workout for day 2!

UntitledYes today’s workout was INSANE and from Insanity! Oh my lord Shaun T is totally insane. His workouts are top notch HARD! That can definitely be a good thing, especially if you have been working out for awhile and can handle it.

I have tried Insanity in the past and made it 30 of the 60-days. Then I got shin splints and had to go to an easier workout. I threw in some Insanity workouts into my 40-day workouts, but not a ton. Continue reading

Goddess Workout Day 1 PLUS measurements.

The woman in the workout is name Ophelia and she seems to be a pretty good belly dance guru. I am not and it was funny, but I could definitely feel the burn in my hips and abdomen during the workout.

No calorie counting or food pyramid watching

UntitledWatching food intake is hard enough and then adding calorie counting as an added pressure can just make someone want to quit. Even ME and I have an MS in Nutrition. Mind you I got the MS in Nutrition because I needed help so I turned to education.

I have implemented a new plan to go along with my 40 workouts in 40 days. If you want to know about that I have linked that for you here.

Now I need to dive deep into my own personal food pyramid. I am taking a newer, less stressful approach. My hypothesis is that I will make better choices and lose weight faster by using this approach. And it won’t be hard! Continue reading
